Meeting point

The departure location is Towns Place Wharf, Millers Point. This can be easily located in Google Maps or other navigation systems. It is just next door to the Port Authority of New South Wales. The wharf is a public wharf, so specific Vivid signage is limited. Upon arrival to the wharf, look for a Sea Sydney Harbour representative, who will be marking names off before you board the vessel. If you do not see the vessel or a company representative upon arrival, please wait patiently at the wharf as either one will not be too far away. As the city is busy during the Vivid Sydney Festival, plan your travel time well and plan to arrive at the wharf 15-20 minutes prior to departure time. The vessel is unable to wait for late arrivals and due to limited ticket numbers a reschedule will not be an option.

The whole experience from start to finish was really lovely. The men were very helpful as I have mobility troubles. They provided a relaxed cruise around the harbour waters and we saw lots of beautiful vivid displays. The nibblies were delicious and we may have been able to get away with just dessert on the way home except we had already booked dinner afterwards, so we didn’t eat much while onboard. There was a lot of activity on the water but these men were very experienced and we were always safe. Highly recommend their tours, great company and fabulous set up.
